He's the Henry Akinwande of Rugby League Coaches.....he talks a good fight on SKY, but when push comes to shove, his coaching style is as ground-breaking as McFly!

First accept sadness. Realise that without losing 70% of the time, winning wouldn't be such a relief.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32990.jpg



It appears we are trying to play an in expansive percentage game that is based on completing sets, having a better or equal share of the ball and trying to play mistake free rugby.
The problem I see is that our players make far too many individual errors and they don’t appear smart enough, quick enough, fit enough or committed enough to do this effectively at the moment.

For starters our forwards are making one man drives and not running hard enough to get over the advantage line, this is then followed up by a poor kick that usually finds the ball landing straight in the hands of the opposing fullback to return at pace.

Add to this some inexcusable missed tackles, unforced handling errors, a visible lack of camaraderie and confidence and it leaves Salford on a hiding to nothing at the moment.

I think success in rugby league is about how well your players do the small things that collectively mean the difference between a competitive performance or a hammering. For instance a good example is the goal line drop out, how many more GLD’s have teams forced on us so far this season compared to us forcing on them?

How often do our kickers put too much or not enough weight on the kick? and how often is our chase not good enough to tackle an opponent in goal? Surely this is something that can be addressed in training, why can’t the team spend an extra 15-20 minutes a day practicing it so they can perfect such an important element of the game? I’m sure it’s no fluke that every other team seem so much better at this play than us!

This is just one example of many I could have given but my point is if the team don’t practice or practice enough on such an important area like forcing a GLD then it highlights that not enough time is being spent in perfecting other areas of Salford's game.

Maybe it’s time Shaun McRae overhauls the present training schedule and starts to identify what action can be taken in training to resolve many of the problem areas in Salford's game? Maybe he needs to get a bit more hands on (Tracksuit Manager)

I just worry that Shaun Mcrae is nothing more than a VAGINA (Video Analyser - Greatly Insightful - No Application) coach and a part-time Sky Sports pundit. A person that can spot errors and tell players what they have done wrong, but doesn't have the hands-on coaching skills to implement the appropriate action in training to help prevent the same mistakes happening the following week?

WELL SAID "THEREDSHED" especially your last paragraph, just wish Shaun read this forum as he quotes he doesnt.
Hopefully one of the board will read it & tell him to have a look or print it off to show him what fans are saying. eusa_clap.gif eusa_clap.gif

Quote: Diavolo Rosso "Although I agree with what is being said aren't you sick of saying the same thing year in year out?.'"


Well to be fair over the years we have improved, got better, made the top 6 where we should have kicked on but with bad management and player power and numerous other problems occuring we find ourselves here.

At this present time everyone the players and the fans are at a all time low, last year our style of play was forgot as we were winning games and you can turn a blind eye to that when you winning.

Sometimes the players need the fans to give them a lift and sometimes the fans need to give the players a lift, the players arnt playing a particualr style of play which is going to get the pulses racing off the field so its difficult to get excited and believe in our team.

Ill back this team to the hill if i believe in them and they are asking questons of other teams and playing a brand of rugby thats not boring us to death, boring percentage rugby is fine if your winning every week and i accepted that all last season but if we are getting beat every week like we are at the moment its hard to get behind them.

I dont believe in blind faith, "get behind them, get behind them" people keep saying but the players and the coaching staff who take the field every week have to show us somthing, anything to make us say " thats why we go every week"

Wigan and St Helens i expected a improvement which we got as they are big teams, Hull and Hull KR are simular to us when all is said and done, not massivley sucessful but are riding a wave of sucess at the moment.
To all the players who mite be reading this give us the fans who are spending their hard earned money traveling to Hull twice in 2 wk somthing in these two games, im not expecting you to go and win both games playing fantastic rugby league just hang in there battle like your life depends on it, do it for you yourself not us so you can look in the mirror monday morning and say " i gave everything i had yeserday" and we'll back you all the way, you mite still get abuse from the odd numpty but if you know deep down you gave everything then you can sleep easy sunday nite, [sizedont,[/size just turn up do a shift and go home again the expect more of the same sleepless nites wondering how we can improve.

I think the board or a representative of the board should be lifting some of these post, I have read more passion & more understanding of the game with fans over the last week on here.
Come on Salford it about time you listened! I for one am not going to HKR & until I see improvement I will only be attending home games in the future. This is a first for me as I travel come what may home & away, unfortunately I have already booked for Perpignan.
